Direction . . . . . this is a good thing, thank you. Let's add "misfire diagnostics" to the "Maintenance" section.

not necessarily sold on the name, but the concept of causes/solutions to the many reasons a misfire could happen is good enough for me.

The general index is already set on the main page, although now that I think about it, we may need a General section under maintenance (and possibly performance). No need to have multiple articles that basically cover the same thing for all the different engines in each of their sections.

With the ability to promote posts to articles, do you guys think it would be easier for me to set up a section dedicated to article creation? It can be somewhat confusing trying to set up an article in the CMS area, so starting it with a post may be the easier way to go.

i'll answer that question with another: WTF is CMS????

**bszopi** · 05-31-2010, 12:16 PM

Content Management System - ie, the front page and articles.

i pushed the new article button on the main page and the only thing i didn't understand was "SEO URL Alias"

otherwise, it looks very similar to a forum post... i really wouldn't want to play with the metadata stuff either, but that's at least self-explanitory.

i will say this, i fail bigtime at formatting...

and the SEO URL thing doesn't apply i guess since it's autmatically generated.

updated post #1, should comply with the existing index better...

also added a lot of transmission topics, though i may be missing some...

Forced air induction broken down to N2O, Turbo and S/C under performance?

And add the AIT resistor mod, tornado (on MPFI/SFI/DI) and magnet on the fuel lines to the myths section, lol.

done.

there's already an IAT mod article, but i'm sure it could use some touch-up or a total rewrite. i also added the link to the article that was published today next to the corresponding topic. i don't think it's on the index of the main page though... i couldn't find it anyway. probably for the best though since potentially a lot of stuff will be added.

Many of the myth articles could use rewriting. Recommended changes can be placed in the comments area. Once implemented, the comment will be deleted.

As far as the article created yesterday not showing up on the main page... Articles themselves will not show up, just the sections. The article can be found by just clicking on the Maintenance item on the menu. In order to organize it better, I will probably still add a "General" link under both the Maintenance and Performance areas.

http://60degreev6.com/content.php/11...-site-articles!

Oh yeah, and I feel like a broken record -> http://60degreev6.com/forum/showthre...rove-this-site

**robertisaar** · 06-01-2010, 11:02 PM

"If I can work something out, maybe each person who writes an article will get a free 60degreev6.com sticker."

you certainly know how to capture my attention, brad.

and that older post was before i even registered... or hell, possibly before i ever found the site.

but don't worry, worst-case scenario, it'll play out like the W-body E-book, with me writing like 75% of it before my hands stop wanting to work...

**bszopi** · 06-01-2010, 11:42 PM

I was searching the site for something else, and came up with another similar topic from 2004. So sadly, we've been asking for this for 6 years now, and still have yet to get much. Maybe this time around...

**prophiseer** · 06-02-2010, 07:55 AM

I know it's been ages since I last posted or joined in any discussions, but I still check the site reguarly for new news/tips and other good stuffs.

Anyhow, I'll see what I can do about getting a couple of articles together - I remember quite a long while ago we had some superb info floating around in the forums that came about from a lot of these earlier discussions - mostly on "performance through efficiency" and some other more in-depth performance related topics. If y'all still need an article on a LIM walkthrough, I might be able to help with that . . . I believe I've got one coming into the shop this week, but if that falls through, I've got my own project I can tear down.

Another thought - a "general" performance section, dealing mostly with "bolt-on" related stuff, and small "tweaks" that are easy and relatively cheap to accomplish. i.e. fuel injectors/fuel system, ignition system performance, CAI/WAI, exhaust components, etc.

If y'all'd like, I can go ahead with writing up a couple of articles for such sections.
